The Engineer on behalf of the Railway is authorized to order in writing to enlarge, extend, diminish or reduce the work or make any alteration in the design, character, position of site, quantities, dimensions or in the method of their execution or in the combination and use of materials for the execution thereof or to order any additional works to be done or any works not to be done. The contractor shall be bound to carry out the works at the agreed rates and shall not be entitled to any claim or compensation whatsoever. 15.2 The procedure detailed below shall be adopted for dealing with variations in quantities during execution of works contract. 15.2.1 Individual NS items in contracts shall be operated with variation of plus or minus 25% and payment would be made as per the agreement rate. For this no finance concurrence would be required. 15.2.2 In case an increase in quantity of an individual item by more than 25% of the agreement quantity is considered unavoidable, the same shall be got executed by floating a fresh tender. If floating a fresh tender for operating that item is considered not practicable, quantity of that item may be operated in excess of 125% of the agreement quantity subject to the following conditions. (a) Operation of an item by more than 125% of the agreement quantity needs the approval of an officer of the rank not less than S.A. Grade. i. Quantities operated in excess of 125% but upto 140% of the agreement quantity of the concerned item, shall be paid at 98% of the rate awarded for that item in that particular tender. ii. Quantities operated in excess of 140% but upto 150% of the agreement quantity of the concerned item shall be paid at 96% of the rate awarded for that item in that particular tender. iii. Variation in quantities of individual items beyond 150% will be prohibited and would be permitted only in exceptional unavoidable circumstances with the concurrence of associate finance and shall be paid at 96% of the rate awarded for that item in that particular tender. (a) The variation in quantities as per the above formula will apply only to the Individual items of the contract and not on the overall contract value. (b) Execution of quantities beyond 150% of the overall agreemental value should not be permitted and, if found necessary, should be only through fresh tenders or by negotiating with existing contractor, with prior personal concurrence of FA & CAO/FA & CAO (C) and approval of General Manager. 15.2.3 In cases where decrease is involved during execution of contract a) The contract signing authority can decrease the items upto 25% of individual item without finance concurrence. b) For decrease beyond 25% for individual items or 25% of contract agreement value, the approval of an officer not less than rank of S.A. Grade may be taken, after obtaining ‘No Claim Certificate’ from the contractor and with finance concurrence, giving detailed reasons for each such decrease in the quantities. c) It should be certified that the work proposed to be reduced will not be required in the same work. 15.2.4 The limit for varying quantities for minor value items should be 100% (as against 25% prescribed for other items). A minor value item for this purpose is defined as an item whose original agreement value is less than 1% of the total original agreement value. 15.2.5 No such quantity variation limit shall apply for foundation items. 15.2.6 As far as SOR items are concerned, the limit of 25% would apply to the value of SOR schedule as a whole and not on individual SOR items. However, in case of NS items, the limit of 25% would apply on the 22

individual items irrespective of the manner of quoting the rate (single percentage rate or individual item rate). 15.2.7 For the tenders accepted at Zonal Railways level, variations in the quantities should be approved by the authority in whose powers revised value of the agreement lies. 15.2.8 For the tenders accepted by General Manager, variations upto 125% of the original agreement value may be accepted by General Manager. 15.2.9 For the tenders accepted by Board Members and Railway Ministers, variation upto 110% of the original agreement value may be accepted by General Manager. 15.2.10 The aspect of vitiation of tender with respect to variation in quantities should be checked and avoided.

Lighting arrangement:Three days before commencement of first block, equipments proposed to be deployed should be shown to railway supervisor along with their fitness certificate. All generator sets should be in good conditions & not more than two year old. Any generators found inefficient of giving persistent trouble should be replaced, on receipt of written advice from engineer representative. Lighting arrangement should be sufficient to light about 400 meters of track lengths per screening machine or a proportionately longer stretch if block duration is expected to more. Lighting has to cover entire distance in which labour or screening machines will work. The whole arrangement should be so designed as to provide illumination having LUX level which is adequate for safe & satisfactory work. Minimum 40 LUX level for illumination at any of the locations to be ensured. In case defective generators not replaced or adequate lightning not provided as discussed in Para 3.8.3 and 3.8.4 above, penalty of Rs. 3000/- Per days of working will be imposed. If on account of poor lighting arrangement block could not take place, higher penalty as per para 3.4 above, will be applicable. The preferred mode of working would be simultaneous operations of two BCMs and supporting tamper plus dynamic track stabilizer. The contractor has to arrange adequate labour and machineries and lighting arrangement as mentioned above at both BCM working site so that the specified progress of the work can be achieved. As per stipulated progress of the individual BCM. However, Railway reserves the option to operate only one machine either for prolonged period or in case of scheduled repairs of one of the machine.

PENALTY CLAUSE FOR TRR WORK

It is expected that progress of 520 track meter or more will be achieved on those days when traffic block is granted for carrying out renewal. Accordingly the contractor has to mobilize the labours and machineries, so that block is utilized to desired extent. Rail panels are normally coming from Bhilai or Sabarmati in installments of about 6.5 km. Hence, adequate completion period has been kept in the contract to take care of gap between various installments as well as execution of other related activities, immediately after receipt of confirmed programme about movement of rail panels from plants. ADEN will give written advice as well as send SMS to contractor’s representative. The contactor will have to sign a joint programme for unloading of rail panels, execution of actual renewal work & subsequent clearance of released materials. The complete activities (including ancillary works) of relating to one rake of rail panels are expected to be executed in a cycle of 60 days after the rake is completely unloaded. If the actual renewal of one lot of one EUR is not completed within 40 days of last unloading block, penalty @ Rs.20000/- per day will be imposed. In case rail renewal is to be done with 26 mm or 13 mm rails the execution programme will be made in similar cycles and contractor has to abide by agreed programme. Further, if labours strengths is inadequate and part of the activities fall in arrears or contractor’s labour leaves the job unfinished making unsafe the track, then railways reserves the right to get the deficiencies attended by deputing other resources including departmental labours/ track machines as required in the interest of the safety and the recoveries in such cases will be done at double the cost of resources deployed. The entire work of TRR is consisting of many sub-activities as given in the Tender Schedule. These have to be executed in precise sequence for achieving standard track parameters and speed potential as well as meeting safety norms. The railway reserves right to withhold upto 15% of the payment due for already 45

executed TRR work, if ancillary activities like de-stressing, carrying and stacking of released rail, painting of rails etc., are delayed or fall in the arrears. The unloading of rail panels/rails from EUR/BFR shall be done during the pre decided traffic block, as per the instructions of Engineers representative giving due regards to specified safety precautions. Bench marks already exist for executing prompt unloading of EUR. Adequate numbers of labour and competent supervisors have to be made available for ensuring requisite productivity during the unloading operation. If the labour strength, as agreed, are not deployed for efficient unloading of EUR/BFR (which results in additional requirement of block) penalty of Rs. 40000/-per day for unnecessary detention to railway wagon will be imposed.
